Praise Journal Entry #12018: Heavenly Father, Your openness with the gospel is such a glory to You! You have not kept it from the meanest of us. You have made it available to all. You have shown it to the poor, the ignorant, and the troubled. You have had no bias in its spread to all the world. All praise be to You! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
